The 24HR Challenge is the TACP Association’s largest and most important annual fundraising event. Founded by CMSgt Eric Rankin, this event unites the TACP Community through camaraderie and competition.

The event honors our fallen TACP brothers and unites the TACP community.

The goal of the event is to complete as many miles as possible in the 24 hour period and raise as much money as possible for the TACP Association.  

Monies raised through the TACP 24HR Challenge directly benefit the TACP community, through the programs and services offered by the TACP Association.

The Mission of the TACP Association is to, “Remember. Honor. Support.”. This means we Remember our fallen, Honor our living, and Support those in need.
